Sorry for my absence as of late. First up I had finals, which were quite taxing! And immediately afterwards my family and I took a much needed vacation, which I greatly enjoyed! I'll be posting the exciting details about that later.

But just wanted to explain where I'd been! Sorry to everyone, especially the RPG dudes, for disappearing without warning! I've never done it before, and it is generally uncharacterisitic of EUCantina's Mara Jade.

So anyway, I know you all missed me! *crickets*

Well I missed you guys, anyway. _________________

I missed you Mara, I'll say it _________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

Welcome back, how did the finals go? Did you do well?_________________"Strong you are with the dark side, young one. But not that strong.

Thanks for the welcomes, guys! Glad to be back at the Cantina. Missed all the awesome discussion.

@Ree'dius: Finals went very well, thanks! Couldn't be happier.

@Taral: I'm majoring in Computer Science, and I love it! I've just finished up my junior year, and I'm both excited and saddened to realize that next year is the end. Currently graduate school is playing heavily into my thoughts. I'm just not sure I like the thought of taking my degree and being done. I enjoy learning too much! I'm such a nerd, ha. _________________

Hey Mara, what type of Computer Science field are you pursuing? If you have the chance, I'd recommend getting some certifications if you can, it'll certainly help you when applying for jobs in the field._________________

A way we connect with each other...and I guess thats why I do toys. That connection." -Ashley Wood

I have not known you that long Mara ... but I MISSED YOU!
Welcome back!

I honestly don't know at the moment. I would love to be a professor in the field, though I don't know that that's where I'm going to end up. At present I'm still trying to decide how far I would like to take it. I'm in the Scientific concentration, so graduate school is certainly a possibility. But the decision eventually has to be made, I suppose.

And thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind about the certifications.

@Shahla 'lala: Thanks much! It's nice to know I was missed. _________________
